I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oh, man, I'd totally love a House/Bones crossover, especially because we could get a Ducklings V Squints smackdown going.

Also, of great amusement in the guest star department last night was French Stewart in a prominent role. My goodness, it was like they blew their guest star budget all in one episode!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, I forgot to pay attention to who French Stewart even was, I was so distracted by the others! (I noticed some of the credits, but not all.)

What's the fruit of an almond and/or cashew?

I've seen Teh_no, I think, on scans_daily. Is that where it is?

Most of it is there. I think f_w has all the relevant links.

And then I wanted to kill all humankind, so I stopped.

See, I just want to kill certain people after reading the wank.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's the fruit of an almond and/or cashew?

For some reason, Jamaicans tend to put almond trees around swimming pools, so it's pretty easy for kids to get their hands on recently fallen fruit, especially ones that never hit the ground. It's a fibrous fruit, and very sour. We eat them and throw the nuts away.

Cashew fruit I've had much less often. My mother pointed out a tree as we were going to a Girl Guide event. It's a pear-shaped light green fruit, and the cashew dangles from the bottom of it. The flesh is a bit sour and astringent, and juicy.

Now I have to wikipedia them both.

Cashew fruit. Unripe almond. When ripe they're yellow with some orange.

Hmm. From looking at other pictures, maybe we have an almond variant in Jamaica. Ours don't split open on the tree. We also have a tendency to randomly name stuff.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You know how sometimes the implications of physics are unsettling to our perceived nature of the universe?

Cool Clouds Turn Light to Matter

A fleeting pulse of light has been captured and then made to reappear in a different location by US physicists.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ahhh, the BBC news never fails me.

Scotland - there's always a murder or attack, usually by knife.

Ireland - Scandal, Sinn Fein, IRA, Political Intrigue.

Wales - It's snowing! We're building a new train line!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

WTF? Why is it so dead today?

Do I need to take roll call?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, yeah, about the colloqualisms, but most of the ones I know are harsh and ugly... Hec, I'm here...not much to say. But I'm saying it. Hec Esterhaus...I like it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

We need a controversial topic.

Or you could do the COMM quiz, again.
